A few months ago I finished a book. It didn’t start as a book — it started as a series of posts on this blog, one question at a time, and then became something I realised was a single argument rather than a collection of pieces. The argument is this: photography is not complicated, but it requires attention. The technique is learnable by anyone. The eye takes longer. Both are worth the effort.
The book is called Photography from the Heart. It covers the exposure triangle, composition, lenses, film formats, street photography and the full cycle — developing, scanning, printing. Not a manual. More like a long conversation with someone who has made most of the mistakes already and kept going anyway.
It’s available in the shop at 12€. But if you’re reading this here, on the blog, you were here before the book existed. You read the posts it grew from. In some ways you’re the reason it became a book at all.
So it’s yours. Use the code ALREADYHERE at checkout and it costs nothing.
No strings. No follow-up pitch. Just the book, with thanks for being part of this from the beginning.
